Epic Might Live Up To its Name

It takes some brass ones to call your movie Epic because it opens the film up to all kinds of nasty insults, but our first look at it hints that Epic might actually be a fitting title.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not talking epic like Lord of the Rings but there’s some great world-building going on in this little animated feature, and if the story can live up to the world that’s been created and the impressive animation quality, then Epic shouldn’t have any problem with living up to its title.

The trailer doesn’t offer much in way of story so you’ll have to drop down to see the synopsis, although the last couple of minutes of the preview do actually let you know the basic hook.

Synopsis:
EPIC is a 3D CG action-adventure comedy that reveals a hidden world unlike any other. From the creators of ICE AGE and RIO, EPIC tells the story of an ongoing battle deep in the forest between the forces of good and the forces of evil. When a teen age girl finds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she must band together with a rag-tag team of fun and whimsical characters in order to save their world…and ours.
